Lex Veldhuis in action

With action on Lex Veldhuis in the small blind, he open shoved into Amit Makhija who sat in the big blind with a fairly short stack.

Makhija slowly sweated his cards to find before announcing fold.

"Look my first one was good" stated Makhija as he flashed the {Q-Spades}.

Veldhuis joined in showing the {Q-Diamonds}. "Oh man" commented Makhija as he showed both cards to read {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}.

As Veldhuis raked in the pot he tabled both his cards too; {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to see both players, along with tablemate Maxim Lykov burst into a state of laughter.

We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and a bet of Mark Teltscher amounting to 33,200.

Danny Wong sat in the tank for just over two minutes before making the call to see the {3-Spades} land on the river.

Teltscher took his turn this time, sitting in the tank for near on three minutes before announcing all in.

Wong double-fist-pump-snap-called and slammed down his {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the nuts. Teltscher shook his head, flashed his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and threw them into the muck to walk away in 22nd place for a payout of $16,740.

Still the table shortie

The flop was out reading {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and Peter "Nordberg" Feldman's all in had just been called by Ryan Hughes with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Feldman was way behind with {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}.

The {6-Clubs} turn changed all that though and after the {J-Clubs} river came Feldman saw his small stack double to 82,000. Hughes on 136,000.

Messed with the Wong Man

Danny Wong was first to act and raised it up before Lars Hougaard three-bet from the button. Wong called and then check raised Hougaard on a {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} flop. After due thought Hougaard called and then bet the {J-Spades} turn when Wong checked. The bet worked as Wong folded.
